Ich habe mich mit @jichikawa unterhalten über seinen Begriff „epistemic courage“. Es geht um die Pandemie und den Klimawandel und die Frage, ob wir weniger skeptisch sein und stattdessen mutiger glauben sollten

Once (not this year) I read a recommendation letter for a grad school applicant who, it said, had been active in the writer's seminar. The letter added that this was remarkable, as — I quote — "it has almost uniformly been my experience that female Asian students are very quiet."

I’m writing letters of recommendation for a few excellent students for grad school. If anyone with relevant experience writing letters could DM me about what things I should definitely mention (and more importantly, things that should not be discussed) I’d really appreciate it!

Melissa and I will be talking about the ideas in this paper: philpapers.org/rec/REESAA-6
